Soldiers Make Good Policemen.

Few people are sware Of the fact that
the very best men on our police force are
recruited from among the soldiers Of the
regular army. No training in the world
makes as good a police officer as that OBJ
tanned in a regiment Of the United States
army. The habits of promptitude. dis
cipline and fidelity to duty hat are in
stilled into a soldier from the day Of his
enlistment are the very qualities most
necessary to a police officer, and the
knowledge Of sanitary matters and tenn
perance that a soldier obtains is Of i'm
mense benefit to him throughout life.
An old first sergeant makes an ideal po-
lice officer. He has learned both how 10
command and TO obey; has by experience
learned how best b. deal with all kinds
Of violence and dissipation; has become
imbued with a deep sense Of responsible
ity. and is in every way the best man in
the world for the police force. The high
character and marvellous efficiency of the
Irish constabulary, who are almost en-
tirely recruited from the army, amply
proves this. and In all our large cities the
best officers are old soldiers. -Police Of
